Why

An artist needs something bigger than an MP3 to get noticed. They need strong creative visuals to give them a substantial competitive edge over their peers. A video connects an artist to the listener and the listener to an audience. Music videos as an art form are as important now as they’ve ever been. They’re part of our visual language – a significant player in the culture of our consumption of music, art, and entertainment. There’s no other short form medium that has the ability to reach millions and millions of viewers like a music video and the media still look at music videos to discover new talent.
